Acura ILX

Hi,

I recently bought a 2017 ILX Premium spec; however, I want to change the current rims i have to the Aspec Black Machined Wheels. I was wondering if it would fit with the current tires that come in the premium (non aspec). Or would I have to get new tires along with the rims.

You should have bought one with the OEM 19's.

Premium ILX wheels are 17x7. A-Spec wheels are 18x7. OP will need to have tire shop stretch tires to fit.

Hella stretch, yo!
